MRI to be done later this week on Cousins. Still a chance it could be a season-ending thing, like what happened to Phillip Thomas.

I'm bummed out about that Cousins injury because of how it happened. I'm not blaming Timmons exactly, but Cousins was clearly running out of bounds. Timmons tackled him by the ankle about a half yard from him going out of bounds. What was the point of that?

It was a clean play, no question. But still kind of a d-bag move in a preseason game in my opinion.

This stinks to hear, hopefully it will heal up quickly. He was beasting a pro bowl center in Pouncey and wreaking havoc on every play he was on the field for. I was really excited watching him and seeing him penetrate consistently.

I STRONGLY disagree - this is NOT flag football

I would love to see our players making that type of tackle and in that position of the playing field, as well - there is a VERY good chance that you'll get the QB going to the ground in a way that might cause him to not be as effective for the next few plays - a VERY good, clean, HIT - IMHO

P A T I E N C E - The Redskins will improve the product on the field if Dan Snyder just let's Scott & his FO do their jobs Dan needs to stop screwing things up and let Scott get this franchise back together

So you think its a good idea for defensive players to try to injure players in preseason games? To limit their effectiveness in a meaningless preseason game? Awesome. I hope you feel the same way about it if Cousins' MRI shows something that ends his season.

Like I said, there is no question it was a clean play, but it still was a completely unnecessary tackle. Personally I'd just like to see players in these preseason games use a little more caution. I understand this is their opportunity to really tackle and hit before the regular season, but they can be smarter about it.

Cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. real talk.

OK, OK, now I'm really done.[/url]

I know he got a pretty good zip on the ball. He has a quick release. . . once I seen a coupla' throws, I was just like 'Yeah, he's that dude.'"
